Today's court hall is full of joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

Rewards are inevitable, but those reward artifacts are not in Fang Jue's eyes.

He knew that today's emperor asked him to come to the court, not to reward him in public.

There will be an aftermath.

"Young Master, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters."

After the Fengtian Temple dispersed early, before Fang Jue walked out of the palace gate, Wang Ming came to deliver the decree.

Stopping Fang Jue, Wang Ming continued to beckon: "Lord Shoufu, Yan Shangshu, Your Majesty has also summoned the two. ”

"And what about us?" Yan Lanfeng glanced at Zhuge Qingshan.

Zhuge Qingshan: "Then let's go together." ”

……

The Imperial Study.

Fang Jue and the three of them came together.

After Wang Ming brought the people in, he flashed leisurely, and Wang Feng went out to welcome the three of them.

"Your Majesty is waiting for the three adults, please."

Entering the gate of the imperial study, the three of them were dressed before stepping in.

"See Your Majesty."

"No courtesy."

Xiao Pingsi put down the fold in his hand, saw the three of them coming, and pointed to the low stool that had been prepared on the side: "Give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After giving up, the three of them sat down one after another, Zhuge Qingshan was in the center, Fang Jue was in the middle, and Yan Lanfeng was slightly lower in rank to the left.

"I don't know what is the matter with Your Majesty summoning the three of me?" Fang Jue asked.

"Presumably, it's for the Jiangnan Water Conservancy, right?" Zhuge Qingshan guessed.

Yan Lanfeng also nodded, the three of them were found at the same time, and now they can contact them for this matter.

"Yes." Xiao Pingsi nodded.

"But why don't you see Lord Shang Shuwei of the Ministry of Works?" Fang Jue said.

Hearing the word Ministry of Industry, Xiao Pingsi's eyes obviously fluctuated.

Zhuge Qingshan suddenly remembered something: "In the early dynasty today, the main officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry didn't seem to have come to the court?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Jue and Yan Lanfeng were both accidents.

The sense of existence of this Ministry of Industry is usually very low, so that there are fewer people in the court, and Fang Jue is not aware of it.

But today is the first early dynasty after the great victory of the national war, and according to the rule, all officials above the fifth grade in Beijing have to go to the court, how can there be a lack of the Ministry of Industry?

"Ministry of Engineering, hum!" Xiao Pingsi took a deep breath, and there was coldness in his majestic tone.

"Huh?" Zhuge Qingshan frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Xiao Pingsi glanced at Wang Feng next to him, he really hasn't lost his anger yet, and he can force a smile when he was in the morning today, which can be regarded as a very good way to nourish his qi.

Seeing this, Wang Feng gave up his hand and said, "Lord Shoufu, the three of you don't know, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry caught fire last night and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Fire?" Zhuge Qingshan was stunned.

Fang Jue was also surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Lanfeng raised the corner of his eyes slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart, don't be a warehouse.

"Yesterday, the army triumphed, and the people of the whole city and the yamen of all ministries were congratulating, so there were fireworks everywhere, so that last night the Ministry of Industry suffered, and half of the yamen was burned down." Wang Feng shook his head and said.

Problematic!

Fang Jue immediately became suspicious.

"Such a big thing, but it didn't spread?" Zhuge Qingshan felt that it was abnormal, and with the cabinet's control of the capital, he didn't even know that the Ministry of Industry had a fire last night.

Xiao Pingsi had a calm face: "I ordered the news to be blocked, the forbidden army helped extinguish the fire last night, and the news entered the palace overnight, so I gave a gag order." ”

"Sealed?" Zhuge Qingshan was puzzled, "Why is Your Majesty like this?" It's just a fire, so why keep it a secret? ”

Yan Lanfeng's eyes were slightly suspicious: "Could it be that something happened to the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Xiao Pingsi had a cold face and didn't answer, but Wang Feng sighed and nodded.

It's really a storeroom! Yan Lanfeng took a deep breath and was secretly annoyed.

"Warehouse?" Zhuge Qingshan didn't understand yet, "There is no need to hide the fire in the treasury, such a big matter should be notified to the Jingzhao Mansion and the cabinet ...... in time."

"Shousuke-sama...... In the treasury of the Ministry of Industry, there is a start-up fund for the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Project, four million taels of silver! ”

Yan Lanfeng's casual tone, with some hatred for iron and steel, aimed at the Ministry of Industry.

Fang Jue also probably guessed it.

It turned out to be such a thing, no wonder the news was blocked, and the court had no face.

"What?"

Zhuge Qingshan also understood, he just didn't expect that such a big thing could happen.

"Could it be that the four million taels of silver went wrong?" Zhuge Qingshan glared.

He was incredulous, and even more annoyed.

"Shoufu, Young Master, Yan Shangshu...... When the 4 million taels in the treasury of the Ministry of Industry were inspected as usual after the fire, it was discovered that they had long since disappeared. Wang Feng cautiously looked at His Majesty's face and said.

"Gone?"

The three of them were shocked in unison.

No wonder, no wonder the entire Ministry of Industry was absent from the morning meeting.

"As soon as I fell asleep last night, the news of the Ministry of Industry losing silver came, and I ordered to block the news on the spot, so that Mo Yuan and the forbidden army could take down all the officials and officials of the Ministry of Industry."

Xiao Pingsi calmed down a little and said, "This matter must be stolen by the Ministry of Industry, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be stolen by foreign thieves." ”

"That's nature." Fang Jue nodded in agreement.

That's four million taels, hundreds of thousands of catties, how could it be stolen quietly by thieves.

It could only be the high-level guards of the Ministry of Industry who stole themselves.

"What is Wei Yun doing?" Yan Lanfeng was so angry that he didn't take up his position anymore, and scolded him by name, "Four million taels of silver are missing, and he actually doesn't notice it at all?" ”

Yan Lanfeng did not doubt Wei Yun, four million taels of silver, compared with the future of an old minister of Shangshu Pavilion, it was not valuable at all.

There is a Shangshu in the family, and the benefits that the family can get are more promising than four million taels of silver.

Therefore, Yan Lanfeng didn't think that an old nobleman like Wei Yun would not be able to see through this benefit.

But Wei Yun is so stupid, he doesn't know that the warehouses have been emptied, how did this Shangshu be?

"Recently, for the sake of Jiangnan Water Conservancy, the Ministry of Industry has been busy, and Wei Shangshu has devoted himself to the project, and he has not been in charge of the internal affairs of the Ministry of Industry at all."

Zhuge Qingshan knew: "Recently, the internal affairs of the Ministry of Industry have been presided over by Deng Chuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry. ”

It's not to excuse Wei Yun, Zhuge Qingshan has always been legal and fair, and the cabinet has always been impartial.

"Your Majesty sent the three of me here, does he want the three of me to solve the case?" Yan Lanfeng frowned.

Xiao Pingsi shook his head: "This matter has been secretly investigated by the Hanging Sword Division, and I have passed on the first assistant to let the cabinet know about this matter, and not to mention the Ministry of Industry in the open." ”

"Sending Yanqing here is for the financial issue of Jiangnan Water Conservancy."

"It is not known when this case will be solved, and the Jiangnan Water Conservancy has already rolled out the preliminary preparatory work, and it cannot be dismissed...... Does the household still have money? ”

Xiao Pingsi's tone was domineering, although he was asking, but obviously he already knew some roots.

“……”

Yan Lanfeng didn't answer, his face was extremely unhappy.

This is what it means to ask him to take out another four million taels!
